Every summer, the biggest sports stars come together to celebrate the best of the best from the year that was at the ESPY Awards. This year's show had as much star power as any of the previous installments, however few personalities were more popular than Jack Hoffman, the 7-year-old Nebraska fan and brain cancer patient.

Hoffman's memorable, touching – you name the adjective – touchdown run in the Nebraska Red-White Game (watch it above) took home the year's "Best Moment." And everyone in attendance wanted to rub elbows with Hoffman.
We have Brent Musberger to thank for this one:
